Admittedly, it is hard to become satisfied physically or emotionally. Naturally our bodies constantly desire food, water, shelter. To be without it is impossible to survive. You eat regularly throughout the day, because eating only once doesn't satisfy the need. Emotionally, we need love, and I believe some amount of attention. If not, we feel neglected or sad. We need love, and we need it often.
Not having what you desire can be draining to someone. It's been proven that when something interferes with an item that we've always had access to, it's only instinct to want and try to posses that item more than before. The more frustrated we become, the more wanting we endure.
I had a conversation with someone a bit ago about the truly good people in life. That there are few people who do not think me, me, me. It's strange that those people are often those who are satisfied. Who are content with what they have. I find it so interesting how those people achieve that state. Or maybe, their wants and needs are just not as apparent as others or they are not as vocal about it. How do these people get to the point where they don't need to actively show what they want. Or maybe they do, but it certainly doesn't seem that way.
Perhaps, you find satisfaction when you are not looking for it. This seems near impossible since we all have wants. But perhaps, it's like things you lose. You tear the house apart and find nothing, no satisfaction. And when you aren't on your rampage, you glance over and WOAH. There it is, unexpectedly. Maybe that is house satisfaction works out after all. You just live and let live, and your cat won't need sprinkles on it's cupcake.
